高考英语听力解题方法参考(最新)

高考英语听力解题方法参考 试听文题，调整心理 听力测试要求同学们有较好的心理素质。由于听力内容有即时性和不可重复性，录音结束后无法再现信息，同学们必须即时听辨、思考和解答，因此很多同学参加听力考试时，总是显得很紧张，难以静心。同学们必须调整好心态，尤其应利用听力试音的机会，让自己全身心进入角色。 读题预测，细节莫失 答好听力题的重要前提和保证是在听录音之前先阅读试题。听音前五分钟，要看清大小题目要求、问题与选项，不要放过任何一个细节。在浏览问题和选项时，要尽可能对文章内容和试题答案进行预测，听录音时只要验证自己的预测就可以了。同时由于选项和试题中的短语、句子可能会在听力内容里出现，因此，认真读题还可以提高听的质量。 扩展阅读：英语听力教材选取的方法 方法1. 不要选择专业术语、专有名词较多的材料。 专业术语之类难词、生僻词对于绝大部分同学来说不需要掌握，因此练习时可以忽略掉。而如果选择的材料中这类词汇较多的话，无疑给自己设置了很多不必要的“拦路虎”，会影响练习的流畅性，应予以避免。 方法2. 注意语段材料的时效性，时效性越强越值得练习。 不宜听写已经过时的英语(课程)语汇内容。如一些出自名家之手的英语美文，文采固然是好，但可能是百多年前创作的作品，其中一些用词，可能现代英语中已经不用了，或者用词比较艰深晦涩，这种材料就只适合单纯欣赏，和同学平时的英语使用情况相去甚远，对大家所面临的考试更是没有针对性，不适合用来练习听写。 方法3. 基础不佳者不宜用影视剧对白练习听写。 这类材料可能含有过多口头语或俗语，且语速非常之快，对于英语程度不扎实，听写能力有待提高的同学来说很难听懂，更别提听写了。对于面向四六级(课程)的大部分同学而言，影视剧作品是可以作为听力和口语的练习素材的，但前提是，不要直接听写，应先结合中文字幕把大意听懂，然后作为泛听材料，单纯地通过听练习一下语感，使自己在听觉上习惯地道的英语语音语调，并起到口语纠音的作用，同时听加深记忆，学习一些剧中的口语表达。 方法4. 刚开始练习时，材料篇幅不宜过长。

高考英语听力答题技巧总结

听力技巧 一、学会预测 预测是在做听力理解之前根据各种暗示，如所给答案选项，段落或对话标题等已有知识，对即将听到的段落或对话内容进行预测。 1. 从答案选项中预测： Q: What does Tom do? A. He’s a truck driver. B. He’s a ship captain. C. He’s a pilot. 录音原文：W: Tom flew to Anchorage last night, then took some passengers from there to Dallas . M: Yeah, but he couldn't land because the airport in Dallas was snowed in. 从选项看，问题应是关于职业方面的，再从flew, passengers, airport 这些信息词中可知道Tom的职业。 2. 从说话人口气预测： “Sure”， “I agree”，在A,B两人的对话中，如果B是附和或赞成，往往说“Yes”， “I think so”等。但如A用否定句，B表同意时则用“No”，“Neither / Nor?”等。 例如：A: Harvey doesn't seem to fit into this class. B: No, he is really a fish out of water. 二、做简要笔记听录音时快速，准确，简要地记下有关信息(包括数字，人名，地名，关键词)，前提是不要影响跟听速度，采用自己习惯的符号。 例：How much will the man pay for the tickets? A.$18 B. $24 C. $30 原文：W: Tickets for the movie are $ 6 for adults, half price for children. M: All right, I’d like three tickets for adults and two tickets for children, please. 笔记可简化为：$ 6 A(A代表adult)，C代表children,3A+2C或6 A(3)+ half C(2) 三、听清数据，简要记录，加以运算。 在获取时间信息时，不要误把会话中提到的时间简单确定为问题的答案。高考听力考查时间时往往要进行简单的时间换算。 At what time does the train to Leeds leave? A. 3:00 B. 3:15 C. 5:00 录音原文：W: Excuse me, could you tell me when the next train to Manchester is? M: Sure. Well, it's 3 now. The next train to Manchester leaves in 2 hours, but you can take the train to Leeds which leaves in 15 minutes, and then get off at Manchester on the way. 对话中提到了三个时间It's 3 now, in 2 hours，in 15 minutes. 现在是3点，开往Manchester的火车要两小时后才开，即The train to Manchester leaves in 2 hours。若简单机械地把3点和2点相加，会得出火车5点才开的错误选项C。 数字类问题分辨别类和计算类两种： 1. 要注意区分-teen和-ty及four和five的发音;辨别多位数，如电话号码，门牌等 2. 计算时间，钱款，距离，年龄，人或物的数量等;听出数字间的关系，更要听清问题，因为对运算方法的要求通常寓于问题中;注意more, less, as much(many)as, another, double, a couple of; to, past, quarter; 记住时间是60进制 如出现几个数字，应注意鉴别问的是那一个。 例：At what time does the office open?
